Christmas at the Smelter.
The scene at the Smelter, Christ
mas morning, could hardly be de-
scribed by one less gifted than
James Whitcomb Riley! Long before
the trucks arrived from the city
laden with gifts, a motley crowd of
humanity gathered, many of the
children bare-footed, hardly any e£
them with covering sufficient to
shield their poor little bodies from
the sharp east wind, and they wait-
ed massed together in the space
around the church, paHemlv. stolid-
ly. shivering with cold, yet unwill-
ing to leave iiiitil their American
friends came with the expected of-
ferings.

able hunger of to-morrow lost sight
of, in the joy of a real Christmas,
Certainly the good Sisters of
Charity and the ladles who helped
to make this Christmas day one of
joy for those poor little children
will be rewarded, when the (liver

who have earned His blessing and

There is another polnUof great
importance which we are forced “to
bear in mind and that' is that the 1
'1 upon which evolutionary
jsophera and their like are gat- .
leg to-day is no longer the .same
field of action which lay ■ beneath
the eyes of Voltaire, Darwin, or
Haeckel. Where, In days gone b/,
society could boast of only an occa-
sional member who scouted the idea
of a Creator, and who would have
none of the doctrine of personal re-
sponsibility, we have to-day whole
masses of humanity who believe, or
who act as if they believe the dog-
mas which the aforementioned gen-
tlemen have been •assiduously dis-
seminating for many a day. And
what'is the result? Consternation!
These same prophets—was not one
®f them styled the ".Prophet of
Jena”?—are nonplussed at the
alarming frequency of the signs of
the disintegration of a civilization
built on Christian thought and
ideals; a foundation which they
have made it their life-work to de-
stroy. A strange anomaly.
Noting, as we can not help but
do, the frankness with which they
admit the rottenness of the modern
sccial fabric, we are inclined some-
what sympathetically to their views,
but when we contemplate the
feebleness of the remedies proposed,
it is hard do be patient in the face
of such woeful lack of balance and
proportion. i
Take for example the idea that (
the propagation of the cult of beau- i
ty is capable of saving Civilization.
What more is required to expose
its utter incapacity, its palpable ri-1
diculousness, than k diagnosis of i
the condition of the patient, and an
analysis of the remedy which is |
proposed to effect the cure? A sup-
erficial survey of social conditions i
of to-day will reveal the fact that
humanity is afflicted not only with
one’disease but with an appalling
array of mortal ailments. We find
the five malignant cancers enumer-
ated by His Holiness in bis allocu-
tion of lasf. Christmas: challenge
to authority'’ hawed between man
and man; ti'rret ter pleasure; aver-
sion tolwork, Bad gross materialism.
We may add, merely by way of em-
phasis, divorce and birth-coid.roi. A
formidable list indeed! To fid man-
kind of all these ills, Mr. Gals-
worthy suggests the development of
the tdw of beauty!
Beauty is always a word to con-
jure with, but as with everything
tt&t portains to the n&dHiinancer^E
dubious art, it behooves us to playe
special safeguards on cur senses to
avoid deception.
Beauty and Liberty are undoubt-
edly two of the most enthralling
concepts which man is capable of
forming; both have wrought Incal-
culable good and Infinite havoc in
the world. The countless crimes
ccmmdtted isn Liberty’s holy name
are no more horrifj'ln® than the or-
gies of a brutalized and paganized
“ t falsely consecrated to the
idea of beauty. And all because of
the inherent and apparently inerad-
icable tendency "Of" man bp* aa

s upon a to be expected? They who stand
a Christian,! outside the Church do not appre-
age as we
appreciate it, so it remains for us
to instill into their minds and hearts
some Inkling, at least, of its worth.
But we can not hope Jto convince
them in so important a matter in a
xuinute, so we must bra patient about
it. A word here, another there;
not in anger or in petulance, but
with humility and earnestness. If
testimonials are demanded we can
furnish them—by billions! But the
greatest, the one convincing argu-
ment will he ourselves. We can not
hope to interest our fellow man in a
remedy he knows we have been us-
ing for a lifetime, rntess we are in •
a pdfeitlon to show palpable results.
We ourselves are tM tangible proofs
er disproofs of the efficacy of the
remedy which -we recommend.

One of the most consoling virtues
emphasized during Ireland’s great
fight for liberty Is its confident faith
in God, its religion and power of
prayer. , Adversity, bloodshed, and
persecution have only strengthened
the bonds which &nd It to the feet
of Its Creator. One Catholic editor

““S’Twriw oi;:i&ia«.wi»srla«
during several weeks-ef the earlier p
part of the eurreat yeai' in: the Sat-
urday Evening] Post, Mr. Wfalte seta
forth a nort of ^compendium of in-
firmlHto, a Ifatsof ’diseases with
Which mankind: ^ S to-day afflicted.
He expresses ■.the .conviction tnat
Civilization is already a wreck,
and that urgent and drastic meas-
ures will have to ’ be taken if the
work of salvaging is to prove In
some little degree ; effective. The
description of the maladies is com-
prehensive and intelligible; the.rem-
edy proposed is Infantile and ridicu-
lous. A world state, a herding to-
gether of all : the heterogeneous
"hoi polio!'' of tife globe under one
banner, and Io! the thing" is done.
Y et the incapacity of the remedy
proposed ought not, under the cir-
cumstances,-surprise us. An individ-
ual who can seriously assert that a
universe evolves without rlnw or
reason, will find little difficulty
In placing full faith ;n the efficacy
of so preposterous a no strum as
the one prescribed.
Writing in the Yale Review for
October of this year, Hr. John
Galsworthy, representative English
man of letters, after indicating by
means of a few deft strokes the la-
mentable plight of present-day so-
ciety. offers a remedy which if not
! equally as grotesque as that of bls
■ illustrious contemporary, is fully as
impotent. The “love of beauty"
1s Mr. Galsworthy’s panacea; or, if
that be d trifle too ethereal a
phrase, he appeals by way of eluci-
dation, "a higher and nobler con-
ception of the dignity of human
life.”
it Is ft strange, a perplexing phe-
in the realm of human
;ht that any given number of
(duals may contemplate with
becoming seriousness the critical
gravity of a situation, yet propose,
when the moment tor decision ar-
rives, the most trivial and inconse-
quential means tor alleviating the
r/ost horrible conditions, and u'-l
with s nonchalant complacency that
breathes the conviction that the
solution of world-problems is not
much of a trick If gone at tn the
proper way. Nowhere Is this more
Strikingly evident than when the re-
adjustment of moral eonduet is the
basis of consideration.
Few will hesitate, to admit that
humanity is to-day afflicted with a
serious malady. That is to say:
Civilization, as represented by the
people of aome?of the countries of
the Christianized part of the world,
seems to be straggling in the throes
of dissolution. It is indtspsnaabte,
however, that-in the formation of
cur judgment of the causes and the
possible effecliy^iesB of a proposed
resnedy, pmte$?K']cud caution be
